This template makes use of {{Autotranslate}} and the translate extension.
Only the text is switched out based on the user's interface, not the whole template (like with {{Autotranslate}}) to avoid unnecessary complexity. Keep in mind this is still a work in progress and new text fields may be added in the future.
Examples
- The message box does not appear on semi-protected pages or upload-only protected files. An icon still appears in the top-right corner.
